Abstract:

In the end of the 20th century, the economic model of production preferred by the states, Fordism continued to be old at a level that could not meet the principles of profitability and efficiency of capitalism, and since the late 1970s, the production model began to change, and the physical work began to be replaced by "knowledge". With these developments in the economic order, the industrial sector, in developed countries, has left its place to the service and financial sector. This has also led to the freedom of movement of goods and labour brought by globalization, the transfer of the industry from developed countries to less developed countries, and the cleansing of urban areas from the industry has led to the spread of the service sector in the cities. The transformation of the towns began to occur. In the post-industrial situation, the cleansing of the city centers from the industrial enterprises and the development of the service sector, the city centers have led to new urban transformations and the emergence of a new middle class. However, the migration that began in those years from the city centers of the upper classes in the city centers, to the safe urban areas that were later established and attracted from different aspects compared to the city center, continues today. Thus, while the old top-middle class leaves the city centers, a new middle class began to explore the characteristics of the city centers and to learn the benefits of being urban. “Gentrification” is a concept first used by the sociologist Ruth Glass in 1964 on the purchase and destruction of houses in the workers’ neighborhoods by the upper and middle classes and the change of the social and social structure of neighborhoods with the construction of luxury houses instead of these houses. In order to create a distinct class, as it is also understood by the concept of genocide, revolutionary transformations in urban spaces mean the transformation of the social structure. With the voluntary or compulsory removal of the working class or lower classes from the urban spaces where the industry is removed, the urban spaces are opened to new middle classes. This situation can also be a major cause of social conflict, as it also covers a type of process of removal. The conflict that arises in urban spaces, starting from a kind of class conflict, can turn into important urban security issues. Due to the urbanization phenomenon that has reached an extraordinary pace with globalization, it has already hosted security issues in itself with increased crime rates, while, on the one hand, the efforts of generalization lead to significant social problems by feeding the environment of social conflict. In this study, the city security issues will be examined along with the efforts of genocide. The study will be based on literary research. Based on the issues of the transformation in the economic system, the reflections of the urban transformation and the social transformation of this situation, the issues of urban security that arise and may arise in this subject will be examined.
